Magnus is an incredibly gifted individual who is thoughtful, insightful and an absolute MUST on any team. He comes to the table not only with his expertise, but engages in projects with genuine curiosity to make whatever you're working on better. As a UX designer, working with Magnus was ideal because he partners in thinking about solving problems in a way that makes the most sense for users—in other words, user-centered design. And to top it all, he has a wonderful design sensibility that doesn't inhibit design (as so notoriously happens so often with software programmers or engineers) but he makes it a breeze to connect on ideas, solutions, and methods of execution.
